Dressed in 1800's seamen's clothes, around a set of a ship's forecastle, performer Matthew Dodd will take listeners back to the days when merchantmen, navy men, whalers, fishermen, pirates and privateers spent years "before the mast" on the great square-rigged sailing ships.
Hear true stories and yarns plus ballads and sea shanties (the unforgettable work songs of the average sailor) telling of the daily life, hardships, dangers, superstitions and the extraordinary adventures—both at sea and in port—of the men who sailed the world on deep sea ships, and of the women who waited for their return.
